Nassau University Medical Center has faced financially rocky times over the years, but Gov. Kathy Hochul’s appointment of Richard Kessel as head of its governing body is begging for fresh scandal.

Yet within just six months, the state had taken over the hospital and forced Ryan out after she accused Albany of failing to provide its share of Medicaid funding, to the tune of $1 billion over 20 years.

Those events sparked a spate of accusations, lawsuits and probes — and this month the appointment of Richard Kessel as chairman of the Nassau Health Care Corp., which oversees the hospital.
